The Italian is one of the finest young talents to grace the footballing world. Despite being only 19-years-old, he has already cemented himself as the first-choice at Serie A giants AC Milan.

Having made his breakthrough two seasons ago, the only way is up for Donnarumma. His future on the international scene is equally bright, expected to succeed Gianluigi Buffon for years to come.

His professional career has only just begun and he definitely has the potential to become a top goalkeeper in years to come, which would benefit Chelsea in the long run if they were to sign him.

Any move could become slightly easier from the Blues' perspective, as his future remains uncertain as some supporters have voiced their discontent at a perceived sense of greed stemming from Mino Raiola's comments last summer, while others feel the poor individual display in their Coppa Italia Final defeat could leave the door open for a possible switch this summer.

Despite early success Antonio Conte has not worked out at Stamford Bridge, but could Donnarumma turn into the next Gianfranco Zola or Roberto di Matteo in west London if he opts for a move? Only time will tell.
